COVID-19 Symptoms Explained: Experiencing a Headache

Among the many COVID-19 symptoms, headache may be the one we’re most likely to attribute to other causes, like dehydration or stress. But having a headache—while not the most common COVID-19 symptom—shouldn’t be ignored. That’s because a headache can be one of the first signs of this virus, even before fever and cough. A headache from COVID-19 can present differently than a migraine or tension headache. Researchers have discovered that some of the prominent features of a COVID-19 headache include:

Having a pulsing, pressing, or stabbing sensation

Occurring bilaterally (across the whole head)

Presenting with severe pressure that won’t respond to typical pain relievers, like ibuprofen and acetaminophen

Lasting for longer than three days

It’s not uncommon for a virus to cause headache symptoms; fighting an infection is a lot of work for your body! As your body mounts its immune response, your immune cells release cytokines, which are small proteins that can cause inflammation in the body. An excess of inflammation (coupled with fever, not sleeping well, and not drinking enough water) can lead to headaches.

If you've been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or begin to experience symptoms of the disease, you may be asked to self-quarantine or self-isolate. What does that entail, and what can you do to prepare yourself for an extended stay at home? How soon after you're infected will you start to be contagious? And what can you do to prevent others in your household from getting sick?

You think you've got COVID-19. Here's what you need to do (recorded 4/10/20) We asked Dr. Mallika Marshall, medical reporter for CBS-affiliate WBZ TV in Boston and an instructor at Harvard Medical School, how we should react when we start to experience a dry cough or perhaps spike a fever. Who do you call? How do you protect your family? When does it make sense to move toward an emergency department, and how should we prepare? Dr. Marshall is the host of Harvard Health Publishing's online course series, and an urgent care physician at Mass General Hospital.
